So seems Landa signed a 2 year contract last year. So any bets who he'll sign with? If it wasn't for Quintana I'd say Movistar, but right now it doesn't make that much sense.

Edit: And Landa gone.

If Landa wins this I won't be able to say how Astana totally shot themselves on their feet today. :(
why? The damage was done, as soon as Landa went after Contador. The least they can do now is win the stage

I mean, how can I rate Astana's day if Landa wins yet Aru loses so much time. My point was, Astana's hard tempo resulting from Conta's flat clearly backfired on the Mortirolo. Had Contador started the climb with them Aru wouldn't have been attacked by Contador most likely, because he would be fresher and Alberto wouldn't have realized an easy prey. Does Landa winning the day salvage that?

Poor Aru, everyone hates him.

He's doing a great ride though. He is alone, got a mechanical and yet still there managing to contain the damage.
I don't think anyone hates Aru :confused: Why would they?

Have you read the posts when he got dropped?

Contador struggling to respond to Landa's attacks, but he hangs on for now.

Edit: Landa dropped them both.

If Kruijsvijk continues to improve that way, he'll be up Sestriere before Landa and AC starts the climb. Aru will be still on Finiestre.

Seriously if Landa had gone on the mortirolo alberto probably would have lost about 2 minutes

The end of this stage doesn't suit AC's style. I'd be impressed if he can pull this off somehow, on top of all the chasing. Not likely AC wins today.

Again, I don't think anyone hates him. It's just fun when something like this backfires.
